@Nadeshot comments on the state of @League of Legends and NA LCS as huge salaries and buyouts continue, while @100 Thieves looks to grow out and develop 3 different rosters. And @G2 Esports’s very own Perkz looks to make a monumental move away from @Carlos ‘ocelote’ Rodriguez and to @Cloud9.

Made the video mainly on 100t with one of the largest and most expensive signings in the world as the sidepoint. Lmao nothing new jake simping for clothing company.
I agree but why keep ryoma
I don’t think the problem is with 100t alone, but something definitely is not going well in NA overall for almost every team to be below par internationally despite as a region spending the most in every aspect. Being a new team is also not the most valid excuse as relatively new orgs and teams have won worlds with pretty players pretty new to the professional scene.
yeah go back and watch some of their early vids with Nadeshot. He didn't want a winning team he wanted a team of content creators. He shouldn't get salty with the fans when they sniff out his BS.
Fans get upset about salaries for LoL players, but don't say a word if they find out the organization still profiting millions off their sponsors. NA has bigger marketing budgets, so naturally NA teams make more or have more to spend. There is no salary cap in LoL, the more money the teams can spend, the more motivated regional talent will be to commit to LoL full time young. The import talents will come. Just like NA traditional sports leagues pay more money, so the best players around the world and regional players develop. People should be happy NA spends the most. Long term, it should turn into the best league, be patient. Remember, its only been a couple years since we've been franchised and setting up proper development structure.
i mean C9 does both at the same time js.
100t will go to Worlds 2021. Ryoma is not the problem. Closer is the Solution.
teams in EU and Korea do this every year with rookies and still performing well. also C9
I think the real issue is that no NA team is cultivating talent that can even compete in groups at worlds, we haven't even be able to fight for a top 8 spot. when we are a major region…
I really love both methods. I want teams to grow some new NA talent but I also like getting the big contracts for people like Perkz. I think both of these options can really help grow the scene and give us a chance at worlds!!
valorant's na esports is bigger than eu's
An entire team of coaches and scouters to not realize that mid is your biggest issue and the reason why 100T has consistently under performed
We need to a new org or team in there franchise slot. Theyve had enough chances
Wants to find new talent to win……….. waste an Import slot on Ryoma – Nadeshot 2020
Even though I don’t like 100 thieves
Thattt much but I do agree with what u said it is tough as a new org to get in a massive esports as LOL in general so yeah
NA Should get Babip and Raes.
im hyped about FBI going to 100T but come on where is the new mid laner, ryyoma was heavy asf
Why would a pro player want to play for 100T after how they treated Meteos, how they treated Cody Sun. I have written off 100T, I dont think Im the only one. TSM is also creating a reputation for mishandling their players, particularly their junglers and top laners. C9 and Liquid stand out as very player friendly and they attract great players. Yes, they have great connections but those connections werent made from a blank check
If ur upset by perkz leaving just think about it they are 20 year olds offer fckin tons of money to play game they been playing their whole life and u get upset when they take that offer…
Lol perkz and zven back together in NA. What…
100T has been the best esports team ever existed for league. It's just the mentality of winning ONLY is what ruins the whole scene. There can only be one winner and thats FAKER. PLUS, when u watch it live and u see the players make mistakes in that ONE particular moment, they just rain hard with toxic and awful comments like the perfect run they have in solo Q, gold-diamond elo. They don't realized how much of stress, pressure, anxiety & maintain the top peak mentality pro players go through. You wanna know how to experience these feelings ? climb the corporate ladder without networks, lets see how many people climb it in a breeze and safe to say, only handful of you can do that while the other 20-30% population will never achieve it.
Tho the only players i would shit on, are the ones who never even try to win and ff 15 easily.
Besides Ryoma I like what 100T did with their academy team
I think that what Nadeshot said its actually true, but he can't say that they invested in amateur players when they've bought like 2 or 3 rookies in this 3 years, that's not investing in future, what MAD lions did it's actually investing in future, but not what they did buying bang, meteos, cody sun, aphromoo, and a long etc. of entire 6 years experience players
sometimes i wish esports fans would know more about tradiitional sports. this is a business, players get tradet, coaches get fired, fingers are getting pointed. this is normal in every other sport in the world. only esports fans are trying to flame/threat people on twitter and are more loyal to the players than the teams. which isnt bad at all, its different.
but get some perspective guys. just because someone leaves the team its not always drama its just business
im super blind so dont flame but is that a jack bobble? lollll
Watching this after he purchased almost the ENTIRE GG’s roster is kinda crazy. It just preaches value to the way Nade and the whole 100T management staff sees the way roster should be built. If the Damonte signing is approved, I’m EXCITED, the most excited for 100T this upcoming season.
This will be a big "prove it" year for Zikz & the 100T League of Legends Coaching Staff. I don't think anyone really questions 100T's ability to identify and sign talented players (last year's LoL roster being the exception). Even their first COD roster was a mess before they brought Crowder in to straighten things out. And if good coaching makes a difference in COD, just think about how important it is in League of Legends. You can have 5 of the most talented players in the world and if they aren't being coached well, the drafting is poor, they're behind the meta instead of helping shape it, none of the talent matters. 100T has put together what should be a competitive main roster this year. What can Zikz, JungleJuice, & Kaimera do with it? Are Kelsey & FallenBandit the right people to develop the Academy & Next teams? The LCS as a whole has improved this year with all the new talent coming in. Still, 100T should be duking it out with TSM, EG, FLY, CLG for a Top 6 spot. If they aren't competitive with those teams, then Nadeshot/Maelk/PapaSmithy should focus on finding/signing/?importing? coaching next year ahead of players.
100t suck LUL.
little christmas cassettes
People act like 100T and the new orgs are the only ones who are throwing money at shit, trying to hire the best analysts. All 10 orgs are trying. And hard fact is the top 2-3 orgs get first pick. Because they have the reputation to draw in the best and hungriest scouts, analysts and players.
I don't understand what the problem is to hire someone good? I mean Barcelona has training grounds for young talents but still buy people like Messi. Things should be a mix of the two – raising talents for the team or for selling to other teams and buying talents. JUST LIKE IN ANY OTHER SPORT. I don't see people complaining about normal sports.
The whole point in franchising is so that teams can take risk and developed rookie talent with less downside. BUT THEN EVERYONE SHITS ON YOU. Like cool they tried to developer talent using the franchise system, literally apart of the reason of its implementation, but when they don’t do well (which isn’t abnormal) everyone flames the shit out of the team saying “oh they didn’t spend enough” or “oh they didn’t get any good players” or “oh they have no idea what they are doing” or “trash team” like. MAKE UP YOUR FUCKING MIND.
Sometimes fans are toxic bro, like fuck off
NA never fell off in competitive esports it just never made the step up that EU made, matching the Asian leagues in talent and entertainment around casters and analysts.
Perkz will know how it feels like to not make it out of groups. I want EU to bully cloud 9. Let him know the gap between EU>NA
Homie mad hes got the Miami dolphins as an lcs team
I mean, most pros in Valorant are CSGO pros so they know their worth, unlike let's say a rookie that got spotted. No one will drop like a mil just for a rookie unless you're ballsy as fuck and/or taking a massive risk.
I mean it doesn't feel fair on C9. C9 in LoL have always been the developmental roster. They have always paid very little for players and sold them for more – with Perkz being one of the first times they've really gone and thrown big money around, so lumping them in as some big spender team feels wrong.
You can't build team for later in league of legends since the game is always changing. Its a dumb thing to say to build for later. When riot doesn't even know where the game is gonna be next year.
No, I don't blame the mostly dogshit NA players for taking the deals, I blame the orgs for hiring incompetent coaches and scouts with 0 ability to do any sort of eye-test on the players
Literally, everything Nadeshot said is wrong. People do not expect you to win now and develop talent. The problem is you are not doing either. You are a bottom-tier team constantly getting terrible 21yr old talent from minor regions when there are younger better players domestically. People keep saying o but look at what 100t is doing to develop players but in 2 yrs how many of these players have made it to pro? o exactly 1 which is Poome. Imagine doing nothing correctly and sitting here bing like "guys give us a participation trophy we trying our best" as your GM imports the 11best mid laner into the region from his old region. Fails to mention FLyquest has been in top 3 as new team last 2 splits in a row and literally, no one is like "but develop talent". People want to you to win now and if you are not winning now they want to see that you have the plan to win in the future it that simple. You are doing neither you are getting crushed while importing 11place mid laners. Having players be trapt in the academy for 2-3yrs is not development. as LS points out if people are going to be good they don't need forever to be good. Being in academy is naturally going to put a cap on their growth because the lack of team skills. 1yr in academy to show individual talent such as mechanics and laning then you should go to lcs to develop communication/team skills/macro.
Nadeshot is really out here complaining about the league scene when his first year team blew the fuck up because of some disputes with the players and coach. No one is attacking you for making big money moves, they are attacking the dumb moves they have repeatedly done. Dropping Meteos for no reason when they were winning, benching Cody Sun for Rikara at World's, picking up a washed up Bang after T1 dropped him, and then forcing Ryoma into the LCS claiming development yet they drop him the next split. These are all awful moves and i applaud them for committing to it but they cannot act innocent as if the community was the reason that it didn't work.
I never really realized what Matt said, but I definitely recognize it now. It’s all over in the LoL scene. Respect.
lol thats the league community for ya
It isn’t true though if you were developing talent people would understand but they aren’t.
Fans are never happy look at t1
Look at the LEC Rogue and MAD Lions, they challenged G2 and FNC with rookies. Europe keeps producing new talent. That´s why LEC Summer split was so exciting to watch
Waiting for 100T Next(their Academy) to step up.
Only 100T,TL and C9. Are the hopes of NA.
